BookThinkers Newsletter #19 - Readers, Readers, Readers

⭐ I'm speaking at the Harvard TEDx event

I'm getting on stage in front of some of the smartest people in the world.

And I'm going to tell them all the bad news about literacy rates.

They are falling across the board.

The good news?

Every change represents an opportunity.

Scared? Excited? It's probably a little of both.

Don't worry, I'll share the video here afterwards.

⭐ Is reading the BEST way to learn something?

Compared to reading, are there better ways to learn something new?

Maybe.

But I'd wager that scrolling TikTok, watching a couple of YouTube videos, or asking AI are NOT at the top of that list.

Maybe reading is actually the best way for the human brain to learn something new?

Until something better comes along, it's been my experience that reading is the #1 way for humans to actually learn and implement new information.

⭐ REMINDER: The Habit That Compounds

At BookThinkers, our mission has always been simple: help people use books to change their lives. Not just collect books. Not just finish books. Actually apply what they learn.

Jim understands something I've believed for years — reading isn't about finishing books. It's about becoming the person those books help you become.

There's another reason I'm so excited about this release. Today, only about 16% of adults read every day. Think about that. A daily reading habit is one of the highest-return investments you can make in yourself, yet most people never experience the compounding effect of reading consistently.

I honestly believe Limitless Daily can help change that. One page. One insight. One action. Five minutes. Every single day. It's the kind of book that can help someone who says "I don't have time to read" become someone who looks forward to reading every morning.

If you've ever wanted to build a lasting reading habit, sharpen your thinking, or help someone you care about fall in love with reading, I think this is a fantastic place to start.

Jim has also put together several exclusive preorder bonuses that are only available for a limited time.

⭐ REMINDER: Take It Further - Limitless Live

Just a few days after the book releases, Jim is hosting Limitless Live on September 11th-12th, bringing together an incredible lineup of experts in brain health, longevity, learning, leadership, and human performance.

I'll be joining Jim on stage for a conversation about my own journey as a reader, how books completely changed the trajectory of my life, and why I believe literacy is one of the greatest investments we can make in ourselves and future generations. If you've followed BookThinkers for any length of time, I think you'll really enjoy this discussion.

I'll also be learning alongside an incredible lineup that includes Dave Asprey, Steven Kotler, Hal Elrod, and many others.
